That the future president sabotaged the 1968 peace talks for political gain

By the time Nixon became president in 1969, he had linked to the mob for more than two decades and, as president, had a close connection with New Orleans boss Carlos Marcello, the most powerful Mafioso in the nation

The president had a drinking problem and top aides referred to him as "Our Drunk"

Nixon had a misogynist streak and was abusive toward first lady Pat Nixon Testimony alleging that the president had ordered the killing of White House reporter Jack Anderson

It's hard to give these a lot of credit. The pre-release evidence for the affair with the Cuban-American businessman 'Bebe' Rebozo seems pretty thin. It contains the assertions based on former FBI investigators that Richard Nixon didn't sleep in the same bed as his wife during their allegedly loveless marriage, and the say-so of two reporters. One of journos claims to have seen Nixon and Rebezo holding hands underneath a dinner table, and the other said that after a few drinks Nixon draped his arm around Rebozo in prom-date fashion.

There are no love letters, video, or audio tapes that prove anything. No diaries detailing a tryst. IN other words, just hearsay some 40 years after the fact.

Last we checked there were plenty of reasons to think Nixon was a bad president - the bombing of Cambodia, the Watergate scandal, and the casual anti-Semitism chief among them.
